In Jewish Science Fiction and Fantasy of the 1960s and 70s: The Post-Holocaust Authors, Valerie Estelle Frankel provides a fascinating ride through some of the key texts of the era and the Jews, Jewishness and Judaism in them. Highly recommended.

Jewish Science Fiction and Fantasy of the 1960s and 70s is another excellent book from the wonderfully prolific author and scholar Valerie Estelle Frankel. Covering the vast ground of Jewishness and the Holocaust in speculative fiction and cinema of the crucial two decades in the US, Israel, and South America, the volume is a rich source on everything from Star Trek to Kubrick to Clarice Lispector. Both the newcomers and aficionados of the genre will find here much to learn and debate. Highly recommended.
